Little Man Ice Cream Owners Purchase Adrift Tiki Bar

If you're craving an umbrella drink, you might need to wait a few weeks. Denver's only tiki bar, Adrift, at 218 South Broadway, is closed for a remodel. The Polynesian-themed bar and eatery was purchased by the group that owns Little Man Ice Cream, according to a sign posted on Adrift's front door.

The notice states that renovations will keep Adrift, which originally opened in 2012, closed for a couple of weeks, but that it will reopen with new decor, a new menu and enhanced service.
